In 2014, China was still the world’s largest producer and consumer of aluminum profiles, accounting for 64.8%, 64.0% and 63.2% of global capacity, output and consumption, respectively. It is expected that output and consumption of aluminum profile in China will reach 18.43 million tons and 15 million tons in the year, up 13.98% and 7.45% from a year earlier, respectively, compared with year-on-year growth rate of 15.50% and 11.15% in 2013. A slowdown in industry growth was largely attributed to overall declining trend of aluminum prices and sluggish downstream demand since the financial crisis.

Lithium carbonate is primarily used in lithium battery, which accounted for 29% of lithium carbonate application in 2014. In recent years, the development of electric vehicle (EV) posed new requirements on lithium battery and lithium carbonate, and the demand has kept rising. In 2014, the demand for lithium carbonate from global EV approximated 16,000 tons, 10% or so of total demand, and is projected to hit 27% in 2017. In addition to EV, the development of the industries such as consumer electronics, grid energy storage, mobile base stations and UPS will also stimulate the demand for lithium carbonate.

Oil country tubular goods (OCTG) are hollow steel products of circular cross-section used in the oil and gas industry for exploration and production activities. OCTG encompasses mainly three types of products which include drill pipe, casing, and tubing. OCTG can be produced as seamless or welded tubes and pipes. The OCTG manufacturers can generally either produce seamless or welded OCTG products and not both, as the capital investment to manufacture seamless OCTG is ten to twenty times higher than the investment required to manufacture welded OCTG. At the same time, API specifications for most grades of casing and tubing stipulate that either welded or seamless construction is acceptable for end-use applications. Generally, welded pipe producers entering the OCTG market concentrate on producing line pipe and in some cases, some low grades of API casing.

The Botswana Federation of Trade Unions (BFTU) is the workers’ labor federation representing the country’s laborers. In 1997, Botswana published a document now known as Vision 2016, which projects that poverty will be eradicated in the country by 2016. Pensions play a vital role in enhancing the earnings of the country’s workforce after retirement. The government is also focusing on improving the social security framework to prevent people from falling into poverty. Private employers also provide benefits to employees in addition to mandatory employee benefits.

The Dominican Republic has a comprehensive social security system. There are three schemes under which social security benefits are granted to the country’s residents and citizens: a contributory scheme that covers employees, a contributory subsidized scheme for self-employed individuals and technicians that is yet to be implemented, and a fully subsidized scheme that covers unemployed and severely disabled persons who do not have a stable income and earn below the minimum wage. The 2003 economic crisis forced the government to reduce public social spending, discontinue several programs and focus on the social protection of the country’s poorest residents through the introduction of the solidarity card and programs like the eating first incentive program, attendance incentive and incentive for higher education Browse Full Report @ http://www.researchmoz.us/employee-benefits-in-the-dominican-republic-report.htmlhttp://bit.ly/1wfSBxv

The Turkish social security system is largely similar to the Continental model, with employee contributions made according to their insurance and payroll status. Contributions are collected in a joint pool and pensions are paid, on becoming eligible, according to contributions made. From 1990, a number of financial problems arose in the Turkish social security system due to implementation of early retirement, an increase in unregistered employment, and low rates of contributions and income subject to contributions. The system does not cover the entire population, and does not have sufficient protection against poverty. This unsystematic method limited consistency in standards with respect to employee rights and obligations. Social security reform was introduced in 2008 to address these issues.

The Republic of Singapore’s social security system is founded on principles of self-provision and self-reliance; the country’s government limits its expenditure on social security schemes. The government’s policy has been that each generation must earn and save enough for their entire life cycle, with each individual being responsible for their own financial sustenance after their retirement. The Central Provident Fund (CPF) is a key component of Singaporean social security system. Most mandatory and state-sponsored benefits are limited to nationals and permanent citizens of the country.

Chile was one of the first countries in the Americas to set up state-sponsored social security cover. The country’s pension system consists of multiple pillars: a non-contributory first pillar, a fully funded second pillar and a voluntary third pillar. In 1981, a new privatized system was introduced to carry out social security schemes. These programs are administered by private sector insurance companies called pension fund managers and the state is in charge of the regulations. Under this new system, formal employees are mandated to contribute to the personal account which is managed by a pension fund manager.

The non-life insurance segment accounted for a 43.8% share of the Peruvian insurance industry’s gross written premium in 2013. The segment’s gross written premium increased at a review-period CAGR of 11.4%. The growth of this segment was majorly due to an increase in property and vehicle sales and the government’s investments on infrastructure. This led to an increase in the number of policies sold from 2.7 million in 2009 to 6.8 million in 2013, at a review-period CAGR of 26.0%. Furthermore, economic growth and individuals’ purchasing power, a large distribution network and scope from low penetration rate is expected to support the growth of the non-life segment over the forecast period.

The travel and tourism sector in Russia is still in the initial stages of development, especially for leisure purposes. Due to the high cost of tours in the country, many Russians prefer outbound trips over domestic tours. This is also a key reason behind the small size of the inbound tourism market with a total of 29.4 million trips in 2013. Both inbound and outbound tourism are largely dependent on neighboring countries such as Ukraine and Kazakhstan. As these countries are well connected to Russia through roads, land is the preferred mode of transport for tourists.

The electric vehicle industry - land, water and air - is rapidly rising to become a huge market of over $533 billion by 2025. Some run entirely on harvested energy as with solar lake boats. Others recycle energy as with regenerative braking of cars, buses and military vehicles harvesting kinetic energy. Others use different forms of harvesting either to charge the traction batteries or to drive autonomous devices as we progress to the wireless vehicle. In some cases, harvesting is making completely new forms of electric vehicle possible such as "glider" Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs) that stay at sea for years and surface to gain electricity from both wave power and sunshine whenever necessary.
